EMEA Banking Awards

PROMOTING GREATER COLLABORATION AMONG THE LARGEST BANKS IN EUROPE, MIDDLE EAST AND AFRICA
The portion of the world called EMEA comprises Europe, Middle East and Africa. These three regions have a contiguous geography. But beyond this, they also have strong historical, cultural, religious and imperial links binding them together. We have found it important to encourage a closer and greater collaboration among the most important banks in the leading economies of this portion of the world. This has led us to establish EMEA Banking Awards, an annual celebration of the biggest banks (ranked by total assets) in the region. In designating the 50 countries for this award program, we selected the 25 largest economies in Europe, the 10 largest economies in the Middle East, and the 15 largest economies in Africa.

IN EUROPE
In Europe these countries are Germany, UK, France, Russia, Italy, Spain, Netherlands, Switzerland, Poland, Sweden, Belgium, Ireland, Norway, Austria, Denmark, Romania, Czech Republic, Finland, Portugal, Kazakhstan, Greece, Ukraine, Hungary, Slovakia and Bulgaria in that order.

IN THE MIDDLE EAST
In the Middle East they are Iran, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Israel, UAE, Iraq, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman and Jordan in that order.

IN AFRICA
And in Africa the list comprises Nigeria, Egypt, South Africa, Algeria, Morocco, Angola, Kenya, Ethiopia, Tanzania, Ghana, Cote d’Ivoire, DR Congo, Uganda, Tunisia and Cameroon in that order.

HOST COUNTRY/CITY
The annual EMEA Banking Awards will be held in rotation among Africa, Middle East and Europe. We have therefore designated the following as the host countries/cities for the first three editions of the event: Abuja, Nigeria in 2023, Dubai, UAE in 2024, and Zurich, Switzerland in 2025. Starting from 2026, the hosting right for this event will be opened up for pitching amongst countries and cities.

AWARD CATEGORIES
The inaugural event will celebrate the top three largest banks (ranked by assets) in the designated countries for the year in question. In each of them we shall also select a banker of the year, the most tech-driven bank of the year, as well as a development finance bank/agency of the year. Mark your diary: October 26, 2023.
